In Vitro Evaluation of Iraqi Kurdistan Tomato Accessions Under Drought Stress Conditions Using Polyethylene Glycol-6000.

Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses that affect plant growth and productivity, and plant stress responses are affected by both the intensity of stress and genotype. In Iraqi Kurdistan, tomato plants play a significant role in the country's economy. Due to climate change, which causes soil moisture to diminish, the crop's growth and yield have been dropping in recent years.

Targeted delivery and controlled released of essential oils using nanoencapsulation: A review.

Essential oils (EOs) contain a complex mixture of volatile and non-volatile molecules with diverse biological activities, including flavoring, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and nutraceutical properties. As a result, EOs have numerous potential applications in the agriculture, food, and pharmaceutical industries. However, their hydrophobicity, chemical instability, and volatility pose a challenge for many of their applications.

Vermicompost and biochar can alleviate cadmium stress through minimizing its uptake and optimizing biochemical properties in Berberis integerrima bunge.

Organic substrates are gaining popularity as a means of mitigating the negative effects of cadmium (Cd) stress on plant growth. The aim of the present study was to investigate the physio-biochemical attributes of Berberis integerrima bunge under Cd-contaminated soil. The pot experiment was carried out based on a completely randomized design (CRD) with six replicates.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi species improve the fatty acids profile and nutrients status of soybean cultivars grown under drought stress.

Aims: To investigate the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) species on the absorption and distribution of mineral nutrients in soybean cultivars under drought stress, an experiment was carried out through a factorial method in the form of randomized complete blocks with six replicates in 2020.

Methods And Results: Experimental factors include: drought stress at three irrigation levels (well-watered [WW], medium stress [MS] and severe stress [SS], i.e.

Exploring of bioactive compounds in essential oil acquired from the stem and root derivatives of callus cultures.

The chemical profile of the essential oil of callus and cell suspension cultures derivatives from stem and root of were explored by ITEX/GC-MS. The major constituents for stem derivatives were undecane (78.44%) and 2,4,6-trimethyl-octane (9.
